Open Platform: A Smart Geometry Event

This event will complement Smart Geometry's annual workshop and conference event, bringing many of SmartGeometry's experienced tutors to guide participants in exploring computational design through a variety of technologies. The event will run in two parallel streams: one stream will feature training in GenerativeComponents and Grasshopper, while the second will be a workshop where participants have the opportunity to propose and work on individual design projects using a variety of software platforms. Both streams will offer participants close interaction with tutors from practices and universities known for their accomplishments in computational design and analysis, and complex geometry. Additionally, the stream featuring GenerativeComponents and Grasshopper will feature tutors from the companies behind each platform, Bentley and McNeel. Those working on individual projects will need to be proficient in their chosen platform but can draw on tutor's skills in various technologies for instance Processing, C++/OpenGL, RhinoScript as well as tutors' expertise in complex problems of geometry, structure, algorithms, and analysis. Participants will be able to change streams as it suits the development of their work. In the evenings, participants can attend presentations demonstrating the latest projects and research in computational architecture and engineering. To register please visit: www.smartgeometry.org The deadline for applications is November 15th.
